The Tesla Project

the 47 uF is the ozone plates

the 10,000 uF is the large condenser shown in the patent

The relays that Erfinder used are DPDT - two sets of contact - he probably has then alternately switching on back and forth - toggling - like a multivibrator.  Like the energy is "compressed" and "expanded" back and forth as it moves through the system - very interesting.

Smart observation. This means I could be using the wrong cap in the wrong place. I'll test this. Hey if you have any brainiac ideas on how to set-up the circuit, I would appreciate any help here. I just ordered a 240-12v 10 amp toroidal transformer (pricey). Supposedly, such transformers will not create any static discharge that I now see on my TV screen when pulsing this regular transformer.

Actually, I remember in Erfinders' first thread, I had posted a test I did by manually spiking a battery with the primary of a transformer and seeing voltages rise in the 800 volts range. Maybe I should wear some gloves. lol

Could you please look at this post by Erfinder on this thread and see if your recommendation above is in conflict with what he is showing.

That's what I get for just looking at the drawing and not reading the text.

You will get static discharge from the arcing of the relay contacts unless Erfinder uses the diode to supress the arcs.

So, loop those relays together to alternate back and forth automatically - like two "buzzers" and they can be loud.

See attached:


EDIT: as for the "compression" - "decompression" - I think this is the way that it must work - like nature.

wattsup - Haven;t look at that link yet

Now,

Do those caps work well because they are some magic number that will work for everybody?


Now if you really want to save on a little money, buy an inductance meter instead of tons of caps. Then find out exactly which cap you should buy.

Here is a very good website to understand why Tesla built his circuits the way he did 
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/tesla/coloradonotes/coloradonotes.htm

We should remember the goal here is to produce currents of high frequency and potential, and Teslas circuits are the most efficient way to do this with a minimum number of components. It's kind of bizarre how we have been using Inductance and Capacitance in exactly the wrong way all this time. An inductance is used to raise the potential through an inductive discharge and the capacitor is used to raise the frequency as erfinder stated, a simple LC circuit to reach both objectives. What has not been mentioned is why? My answer is simple, which would be more efficient ?------- using a 12v DC battery to power a 12v motor OR using the same amount of power to charge a capacitor to 2000v and discharging this capacitor in pulses though the same 12v motor with a minimum voltage drop and very little heating effect. Then recapturing 80 % of this energy to charge the same battery that powers the oscillator charging the capacitor.  I mention this because I think it's important to have a premise, that is a goal to work towards which makes things easier.
It should be noted that many small AC and DC motors are rated in RPM/volt, so running a 12v motor at 600 volts would overspeed the motor, but when the power is pulsed the duty cycle is lowered as well, meaning the same power is generated at the same RPM. The big difference is the amperage is very small at 600v relative to 12v so the efficiency is very high.
